Lightning does not strike twice!.
While our first experience was a success, the 2nd visit was the opposite.
The friendly attentiveness was gone. The waitress we had was either new or did not care (apology at the end for a tip is not an apology, and therefor no tip was delivered either).
Firstly we did not have a "reservation". Although the restaurant was busy, we were seated in the worse spot by the door to receive drafts, while subsequent customers got interior tables as there was still available tables.
We did not get the bread and butter that is served. Nor a bread plate. Despite all other tables receiving it, and having received it on our previous visit.
Waitress was unable to explain the different types of meals ( we were with different people who had not dined there, and they were there on our recommendation). Nor able to explain a dessert listed.
Meals for the five people were served as 1 meal, then 10 minutes later 2 more meals, then 5 minutes later another meal, and finally another 5 minutes for the final meal to arrive. We have NEVER been served in such a manner (and we are being kind about the time difference).
The piece de resistance is that people who arrived after us were being served their food even though they ordered after us!!
While there is no complaint about the taste of the food (though perhaps the portions seemed a bit smaller than previous visit), the poor service has made it unlikely that we will recommend again.
